The USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS) has updated its State Fact Sheets to include 2010 Census State and county population counts. The fact sheets provide information on organic agriculture, farm characteristics, farm financial indicators, top commodities, and exports along with population, income, poverty, education, employment and federal funds for each state in the U.S. Also included with each fact sheet are links to county-level data when available.
The Web page also includes an update of the U.S. population summary:
